Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Evolution of the Dragon (1919) is a landmark work of early anthropology and comparative mythology by G. Elliot Smith-an ambitious investigation into how one of humanity's most enduring symbols, the dragon, took shape and traveled across cultures.Why do distant civilizations share striki…ngly similar myths, rituals, and sacred imagery? Smith approaches this question through artifacts, monuments, funerary traditions, and ancient religious symbolism, arguing that cultural contact and transmission played a major role in the spread of complex ideas.Ancient Egypt stands at the center of Smith's inquiry. He traces connections between Egyptian funerary practice, ritual concepts, and evolving mythic figures-following how themes of life, death, rebirth, and divine power could transform over time into the composite "dragon" motif found far beyond Egypt.Originally delivered as illustrated lectures, the book has an exploratory, evidence-driven character: ideas return, expand, and sharpen from chapter to chapter, giving readers the sense of a mind working through a large, interconnected argument.This Revised Edition preserves the original public-domain text and the author's illustrations while presenting them in a carefully prepared modern format. It includes an editor's foreword and editorial notes, corrected and completed references (including missed citations and self-references in the original), unified figure numbering across the book, bibliography, index of names, places and concepts.Ideal for readers interested in cultural diffusion, ancient Egypt, comparative mythology, dragon symbolism, ritual and religion, ancient art and monuments, and the history of early anthropology.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - What if Istanbul was not only built by emperors-but protected by hidden forces For centuries, people believed that the fate of the city was shaped by unseen powers: talismans carved into stone, statues that controlled nature, and myster…ious symbols placed to guard against disaster.This was not just mythology-it was a way of understanding the city.In Talismans of Istanbul, you will discover a forgotten world preserved in Byzantine and Ottoman sources, including the Patria of Constantinople and the writings of Evliya Çelebi.Inside this book:- The copper ships of witches, whispered to move across the waters of the Bosporus- The Gorgons whose gaze was believed to hold hidden meaning- The bronze bull of Neorion Harbor, said to echo with power- The Ifrit and plague talismans that guarded the city from catastrophe- The Karakoncolos said to haunt the Pantokrator MonasteryFrom the oracle of Delphi to Apollonius of Tyana's reputed acts of protection, from Galen's effort to decipher talismanic mysteries to Byzas the legendary founder and Constantine the Great shaping the city, and from later traditions to the accounts of Mehmed II, this book traces how Istanbul's hidden powers were imagined, interpreted, and remembered across the centuries.This is not a conventional history book.It is an exploration of what people believed was possible-of a city where myth and reality were inseparable.Blending historical texts with cultural memory, Talismans of Istanbul reveals a layered vision of the city-one shaped not only by emperors and monuments, but by fear, hope, and the invisible forces believed to surround them.A city where even stone was thought to hold power.
